NRIs can verify land records in Punjab through the official Jamabandi portal at jamabandi.punjab.gov.in. Property details can be searched using the owner’s name, Khasra number, Khatauni number, or Khewat number.

NRIs can sell property in Punjab by executing a Special Power of Attorney (SPA) in favor of a trusted individual. The SPA must be properly notarized, attested by the Indian Embassy or Consulate, and registered with the appropriate authority in India to enable legal sale proceedings.

NRIs who hold Indian citizenship or Overseas Citizenship of India (OCI) status are permitted to buy residential, commercial, and agricultural land in Punjab, subject to local state regulations. It is strongly advised to conduct detailed title verification before completing the purchase.

NRIs can transfer property to family members by executing and registering a Gift Deed or Release Deed in favor of the recipient. Proper registration with the Sub-Registrar’s office is mandatory to ensure the transfer is legally valid.

Ownership transfer can be completed by executing a Sale Deed, Gift Deed, or succession documentation such as a legal heir certificate. Following the execution, it is necessary to update the mutation records in the revenue department to reflect the new ownership.

Mutation involves updating ownership records in land revenue documents after a sale, inheritance, or gift. To update mutation, an application must be submitted to the local revenue office along with the sale deed, Gift Deed, succession certificate, or relevant supporting documents.

NRIs should monitor their property records regularly, install boundary markers, ensure timely mutation updates, and appoint a trusted legal caretaker or representative. Legal action can be initiated promptly in case of unauthorized possession or encroachment. For Get In Touch With PLRSA Legal Expertise Today!
